pandas unique of column code example

Example 1: python extract values that have different values in a column

df = pd.DataFrame({'author':['a', 'a', 'b'], 'products':['sr1', 'sr2', 'sr2']}) # Create df

group = df.groupby('author') # Group by author used as index
df2 = group.apply(lambda x: x['subreddit'].unique()) # List of all product per author
df2 = df2.apply(pd.Series) # Split products in multiple columns

Example 2: unique entries in column pandas

# Import modules
import pandas as pd

# Set ipython's max row display
pd.set_option('display.max_row', 1000)

# Set iPython's max column width to 50
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', 50)
# Create an example dataframe
data = {'name': ['Jason', 'Molly', 'Tina', 'Jake', 'Amy'], 
        'year': [2012, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2014], 
        'reports': [4, 24, 31, 2, 3]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data, index = ['Cochice', 'Pima', 'Santa Cruz', 'Maricopa', 'Yuma'])
df

#List unique values in the df['name'] column
df.name.unique()
